Revisiting Tammy & Mike's beautiful wedding brings back some great memories. It must have been the absolute hottest day of the year. You couldn't tell by looking at Tammy & Mike though, they were cool as cucumbers and were soaked in bliss. They had a lovely outdoor ceremony located right in front of the Rogers Centre (it'll always be the SkyDome to me though) in the heart of downtown Toronto. Immediately after their ceremony, we whipped around the stadium to do some creative portraits. The Toronto Blue Jays had just finished defeating the Tampa Bay Rays and the crowds were pouring out.

We politely approached the fine staff there and asked if we could get access to take some photos inside the stadium and they happily agreed! This was beyond awesome as Tammy & Mike were huge Blue Jays fans (myself included!!). So after going into a private box and get some fun shots with their wedding party, they made sure to take a moment and soak in the experience.

Afterwards we headed to Yonge & Dundas for a portrait at the scramble crosswalk and then headed off to Jazz Bistro around the corner for a lovely reception and to dance the night away!

Well....this hasn't been the greatest summer for the Toronto Islands. High water levels pushed the opening of the islands waaay back. And while it was unfortunate this year, it has been one of my favourite spots to photograph in the past.

While thinking about the islands, I was reminded of the breath-taking late day engagement session I had with Jane & AJ. This was a warm early May evening where the islands hadn't quite kicked off for the summer season. We almost had the entire island to our self. It was peaceful, warm, and intimate. The perfect ingredients for a wonderful engagement session.

There is are few things that are better than a wedding that turns into a party. When I say party...I mean a PARTY. Jennifer + James was definitely one for the books.

I've actually known Jennifer for a good number of years (more than I'd like to admit as I can't believe that much time has passed), and have also got to know James when the first got together. These two are a fun, energetic pair who just compliment each other perfectly.

When you pair that with Macedonian & Italian families, and wild wedding party - awesomeness ensues. By the end of the night the dress shirts were gone, the Rafael Nadal bandanas were in effect, and the hoisting had begun.

Ok, so I'm horribly late with posting this wedding (amongst other weddings, I know!). But, I have to make sure this awesomeness made it on, no matter what.

Ariane + Randal are an adorable couple who have such great energy and passion. If you look through the engagement portfolio you'll see some of their photos from their colour bomb engagement session (TONS OF FUN!).

Their wedding day was just as magical. Held at the beautiful Whistle Bear Golf Club on a sunny fall day, and gorgeously styled by the wonderful Et Lofte Events. Their personality was incorporated throughout. My personal favourite touch was all the board games that were put out for guests to play during the cocktail hour (Operation!!!). Being the superstars that they are, they even braved the cold autumn night to sneak out during the dancing to take some stunningly beautiful night portraits.

I had a chance to see them both again about six months ago, to photograph a mini shoot for them as a little maternity session. All the great memories of that day came flooding back, and it was an honour to continue to tell the story of their new family.

I know by now, the new little addition has arrived, so congrats to you both!
